Weather Summary
Weather Underground midday recap for Monday, February 13, 2012. A storm raced out of the Rockies and into the Plains on Monday, producing a good shot of Winter weather in the Plains and Mississippi Valley. Winter Weather Advisories were posted from eastern Oklahoma through the western Tennessee Valley in anticipation of several inches of new snow. Snow fell as far north as Minnesota and Michigan, but lighter snow was reported the farther north you went. In the warmer air closer to the Gulf Coast, rain fell in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Wet weather also greeted the West Coast as a Pacific storm slammed into California. This storm lacked a tremendous amount of moisture, but it has been a very dry Winter for the state thus far, and any precipitation is very much welcomed. Up to a foot of new snow is possible from this storm in the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevadas when all is said and done.

The East Coast was dry as a high pressure continued to dominate, but the region experienced another chilly day. By the afternoon, temperatures were still in the 20s and 30s for many areas in New England, while temperatures in the 30s were experience as far south as Arkansas. Morning temperatures were in the 20s in northern Florida.

The Northern Plains rose into the 20s and 30s, while the Northwest saw temperatures in the 30s and 40s. The Southwest rose into the 40s, 50s, and some 60s.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 8:46 PM CST on February 13, 2012

... Potential for light glazing to develop during the night...

The light snow will continue to taper off from west to east across
southern Wisconsin through the early morning hours after midnight
as the main forcing associated with an approaching mid level low
pressure trough exits southern Wisconsin.

However... enough low level moisture and weak forcing will remain
to produce lingering areas of very light snow as well as patchy
light freezing drizzle.

With temperatures hovering at or slightly below freezing... the
light freezing drizzle may result in slippery spots developing on
untreated roads and sidewalks during the late night. The best area
for light glazing overnight... will be in south central Wisconsin
due to slightly warmer air aloft.

Late night motorists should be prepared to encounter scattered
slippery spots on untreated roadways.
